Maybe you’ve heard of the recent uproar over the asinine comments of Tim Hunt about female scientists? If not, read more about it here. We here at the Plum Island Research project know that it is no surprise that in science, as in so many other fields, sexism remains frustratingly, stubbornly, and disappointingly alive and well. We throw our full support behind the online movement against these outrageous comments and the worldview they represent. To that end, I present the ever #distractinglysexy Claudia, proving that THERE’S NO CRYING IN DRILLING!
